This, moreover, affords an excellent illustration of one
great principle of Unity, which is that the Unity repeats
itself in every one of its parts, so that each part taken
separately is an exact reproduction (in principles) of the
greater Unity of which it is a portion. Therefore, if you
take the individual man as your unit (which is what I did),
and proceed by multiplication, you get the results which were
pointed out in my article. And conversely, if you take the
Great Unity of All-Being as your unit, and proceed by
division, you arrive at the result shown by your foreign
correspondent. The principle is a purely mathematical one,
and is extremely interesting in the present application as
showing the existence of a system of concealed mathematics
running through the whole Bible. This bears out what I said
in my article that there were other applications of the
principle in question, though this one did not at the time
occur to me.
I am much indebted to your correspondent for the further
proof thus given of the correctness of my interpretation of
the Number of the Beast. Both our interpretations support
each other, for they are merely different ways of stating the
same thing, and they have this advantage over those generally
given, that they do not refer to any particular form of evil,
but express a general principle applicable to all alike.
Yours sincerely,

It may perhaps emphasize my point if I remind my readers that it was the
conflict between the principles of Unity and separation that led to the
crucifixion of Jesus. We must distinguish between the charge which
really led to his death, and the merely technical charge on which he was
sentenced by the Roman Governor. The latter--the charge of opposition to
the royal authority of Cæsar--has its significance; but it is clear from
the Bible record that this was merely formal, the true cause of
conviction being contained in the statement that of the chief priests:
"We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself
the Son of God."
